York Region’s charitable organizations aren’t being stuck up when they refuse the donation of certain items. Each organization that accepts donations, from Vaughan to Georgina, have policies surrounding acceptable items. While donors might feel slighted by these organizations refusing donations of certain things, there are reasons behind the rules. "Some people donate items because they love them and want that item to be continued to be loved," Rose of Sharon’s development director Rachel Agnoluzzi said. The organization that supports young mothers across the region primarily relies on monetary donations to improve lives going forward, however, it does l See THERE, page 11

COMMUNITY isa Chong was nervous about letting her son stay home alone for an hour or two after

school. The Newmarket mom, like any working parent, wrestled with the thought of leaving her son, now 12, home alone for short periods of time when he was 10 but also didn’t want to leave him in an after-school care program designed for younger children. Before she did, her son attended a home-alone course offered by St. John Ambulance. "I was very nervous, but after testing the waters and watching him use the techniques that he learned at the course, I felt a little better," she said. "Each time he’s alone, he becomes more confident, as do I." It was at the end of Grade 5 he was walking home from the bus stop, letting himself into the house, checking in with mom when he arrived and doing chores and homework. The routine has helped both mom and son feel comfortable with his independence. According to the Ontario Child and Family Services Act, any child under the age of 10 years left unattended can be at risk and, depending on the situation, police can lay charges, York Regional Police Const. Laura Nicole said. "There isn’t a firm one-sizefits-all," she added. "Parents need to know their child and the area, then make a decision based on all the circumstances." The length of the walk, possible risks such as heavy traffic, railway crossings and how long children will be left alone should all be considered when making a decision. While every child matures at a different rate, it is most important to note a 7-year-old doesn’t have the same mental ability as a 9- or 10-year old, Seneca King Campus behavioural sciences professor Laura Cavanagh said. "At 7, kids can know a rule but don’t have the ability to apply it to a concrete situation in real life," she explained. "So they know the rule is not to talk

IS TIME RIGHT? St. John Ambulance offers five crucial points when deciding to leave a child home alone: 1. Your child can recite their name, address and phone number in case of emergency. 2. They know how, when and what to say when they call 9-1-1. 3. Have access to a neighbour’s phone number and can call and ask for help if needed. 4. Understand enough about time to know when you will be home. 5. They know what to say and do if someone calls or knocks on the door. For more tips, visit sja.ca.

When is a child ready to walk to school or return from school to an empty house? Experts say a number of factors should be considered while making the decision.

ON THEIR OWN Parents wrestle with deciding when their children are ready to walk to school or stay home alone TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com to strangers, but if someone asked for help finding their puppy, the child would most likely help where as an older child would associate the situation with the stranger-danger rule." When assessing a child for readiness, ask questions and pay attention to their behaviour when you are around, which is

indicative of the behaviour they will practise when alone. For example, if you tell your child not to answer the phone while you are in the shower and they do it anyway, they may be tempted to open the door when home alone even though they have been told not to. Parenting expert Alyson Schafer suggests running trials

before letting a child walk to school or stay home alone to put both child and parent at ease. After teaching your child the rules for safely crossing a street and being aware of surroundings and so on, allow them to walk to school while you follow from a safe distance. "Many parents are using the walking school bus in their

neighbourhoods," Schaffer added. "Children from the same school walk together, and older students look out for the younger ones." As for leaving a child at home, ensure all emergency procedures are properly understood. Quiz your child on different scenarios to see how they respond, and set house rules you both agree on - for example, calling one parent when arriving home. Some parents have their children use video chat when cooking on their own. Try leaving them alone for a short period of time as a trial run to see what happens. Walking to school without a parent or guardian and being home alone are big milestones for children, Cavanagh said. Aside from the physical health benefits of walking to school rather than sitting in a car, being given the opportunity to prove to a parent they are responsible can boost their independence and confidence. Most children are eager to demonstrate their ability to take on responsibility at this age, and if the rules are clear and they are motivated, they will be more likely to comply. "These tasks can be very rewarding for children and helps prepare them for the transition into adulthood when more responsibilities come their way," she added. "These independent tasks are well worth the consideration."

ABOUT US

Motorists must focus on stopping distracted driving It shouldn’t have to be re-stated at this point and yet here it is: distracted driving is dangerous and unacceptable. How dangerous? Well, according to the Ontario Provincial Police, distracted driving is responsible for more collisions on the roads it patrols than speeding and impaired-related crashes combined. Numbers don’t lie and the OPP’s statistics are troubling to be sure. Its figures say that driver distraction has been the cause of 6,360 collisions on the roads it patrols since Jan. 1, while speeding and driver impairment were responsible for 4,700 and 1,158 crashes, respectively. Forty-seven people have died so far this year as a result of a distracted driver, up from 39 at this time last year, the OPP says. What’s more, distracted driving has claimed more lives on OPP-patrolled roads than speeding and impaired for the past eight years except for 2012. "Our collision data is compelling evidence that drivers who text, talk on their cellphone or are distracted in some other way, take a tremendous toll on the safety of those who share the road with them," OPP commissioner Vince Hawkes said in a statement. "Public complacency about inattentive driving can be just as dangerous as the behaviour itself. Until drivers, passengers and the general public take a firm stand against this road safety issue, these tragedies are expected to continue in large numbers on our roads.’’ Distracted driving remains an issue on the roadways patrolled by area police as well. Just last week, York Regional Police issued a news release noting that 25 motorists had been charged with impaired, while 82 others had been cited for distracted driving. The release isn’t unique as YRP charges scores of people with distracted driving every week. The penalties for being caught driving while distracted are steep, with fines ranging from $490 to $1,000 and three demerit points, and yet still not enough to discourage people from doing so. Of course, beyond a fine or a trip to a courthouse, a distracted driver could also have to live with severely injuring or killing someone. This week marks the start of a new school year and that means more children out and about on our streets. As such, we should all ensure we devote our attention solely to the task of driving whenever we’re behind the wheel. One injury or death resulting from distracted driving is too many. Let’s focus on reversing this trend.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Bawdy houses have no place here In April, Coun. Don Hamilton addressed the presence of suspected bawdy houses in Markham and said "We don’t want to be judgmental," insisting that he didn’t want to make this a moral issue or pretend there isn’t a demand for prostitution. Then, in June, Hamilton went even further by suggesting zoning for bawdy houses. If carried out, this suggestion would have a serious negative impact on our community. One of your readers, Cosimo Crupy, wrote a letter encouraging citizens to condemn Hamilton’s disturbing and illegal line of reasoning, and I wholly agree. As a respected public figure, Hamilton had a

unique opportunity to take a moral position. Prostitution destroys all individuals involved: the women who compromise their safety and self-respect as prostitutes and the men who take sexual advantage of them. At the core of our community - and of any healthy society - are families, and prostitution eats away and destroys at that core by encouraging men to betray their marriages, children, and moral principles, and by creating the dangerous impression for young girls that prostitution is a respectable way to make a living. We don’t hesitate to condemn Canada’s drug epidemic as illegal and destructive. We don’t hesitate to condemn drunk driving as illegal and destructive. Why doesn’t Hamilton con-

demn bawdy-house activity, and instead suggest zoning changes to create a breeding ground for this destructive activity? He says he doesn’t want to be "judgmental" or make it a "moral issue", but by encouraging prostitution in the form of bawdy houses he is judging it as morally good and acceptable. As a community leader we look to Hamilton for strong leadership, and it’s a shame that he’s failing in this role. Ruth Gaskovski, Markham

All Canadians should follow rule of law RE: LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Letter offered plenty of propaganda, Aug. 3

Since letter writer Wendy King ask us to read all about the Khadr story, perhaps she should read the story of Fred McKay, whose son Kevin was killed by an IED while on patrol in Afghanistan. (Toronto Sun, Aug. 5) He believes, as I and many more Canadians do, that Khadr should have been tired as a traitor. McKay, whose family received $90,000 from the government, not that he argues that amount. His objective is to have parliament ask Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to have Khadr tried for treason, since he is seen on video building IEDs while being a Canadian citizen. Trudeau has not responded. Too busy with photo ops, I guess. John King, Newmarket

While these textiles can’t be resold in the store, funds are generated by selling them to cloth graders who turn them into rags, sell to buyers who make upholstery stuffing and carpet padding. Every effort is made to recycle non-sellable items with eco-friendly suppliers. Most of the time electronics need to be in working order to be donated.

have Roseys Closet for gently used donations. Often people try to donate car seats, cribs and more with the best of intentions but with those items come liability because the safety standards of such items change so often, according to Agnoluzzi. Those who wish to donate items should check online or call the organization before doing so because any items left on the front stoop cost money and resources to dispose of. Salvation Army Thrift Stores accept donations daily through the Donor Welcome Centres. Donations are reviewed on site and while some get a second chance in the store, some do not, according to a Salvation Army spokesperson. Items the stores cannot accept include used mattresses, box springs, carpets, hazardous materials

Other charities shy away from accepting large furniture due to the risks associated with volunteers or employees moving the heavy items and they are difficult for people to fit into their vehicles. Items that cannot be resold, reused or recycled cost the charity funds to dispose of, which defeats the purpose of collecting donations.

There are reasons behind refusals of donations

Advice for those looking to donate

Mike Barrett/Metroland

Salvation Army Thrift Store employee Carlos Silvera (left) and store manager Matthew Brown are usually kept busy with donations regularly arriving at the Newmarket store. Thrift shops across York Region aren’t snubbing donations when they refuse certain items. Certain policies and logistics make it impossible for some organizations to accept certain items due to health regulations and safety concerns. like paint, propane tanks, barbecues, infant gear like car seats, cribs and strollers, tires and auto parts due to health and safety regulations. Many children’s items such as car seats,

have an expiry date and sometimes cribs and strollers are subject to recalls due to safety concerns. Used mattresses are a breeding ground for mould, bacteria and unwanted

guests such as bedbugs and dust mites, all of which can lead to a variety of health issues. The stores also receive clothing that is torn, stained and overly worn often.

Sort through donations carefully and if you are unsure if an item is acceptable, contact the charity you are looking to donate it to. Don’t head to the landfill immediately after an item is refused for donation as there are plenty of options when it comes to recycling or donating: • The Ontario SPCA accept donations of blankets, towels and unwearable textiles. • York Region municipalities are partnering with organizations like Diabetes Canada to operate a textile recycling program. • York Region waste depots accept electronics to recycle. • JRCC Furniture Depot in Vaughan collects housewares, indoor furniture, medical/home-care supplies and equipment. • Visit York.ca for a handy list of organizations you can donate to, location and what items they accept. • Try using resale apps to find a home for the item, you never know what people are looking for. • Dispose of hazardous materials in the proper manner at one of the many depots across York Region.

Shooting, stabbing and burning pains from the low back, sometimes with additional pain through the buttocks and down the legs are all symptoms of a pinched nerves often called “sciatica”. In severe cases, it can lead to muscle wasting, numbness and constant tingling down to the tip of the toes. Left untreated, the intense pain can rapidly wear you down and drain the joy out of life. That is, until now... Recent advances in the treatment of sciatica and lower back pain have led to the development and huge success of Advanced Structural Correction Technique. The excellent results of chiropractic treatment have been published in major medical journals. With great success rates, some back surgeons and medical doctors are recommending their patients try this treatment first before having back surgery.

Patient Catherine M. from Thornhill says, “I woke up every morning with low back pain that was unbearable and searing burning pain I felt into my leg. I had trouble doing anything I did before like running, and working out, and even being at work was extremely difficult. The drugs my MD prescribed hardly did anything.

Trail to nowhere leaves resident feeling led up path TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com For Unionville resident Barb Orr, the road to nowhere between Briarwood and Carlton parks equals "Pathgate." She sees a promise made way back in June 2014 that included an initial path started out of Briarwood Park, but an uncompleted path down to Carlton Park as a promise unfulfilled. And she places the blame on both city officials and local councillor Don Hamilton. "I’m angry," Orr said. Orr, who lives in the neighbourhood and would like to use the path if it’s ever built, has the city maps to prove that a trail from Briarwood Park to Carlton Road was indeed proposed. The map is dated June 3, 2014. And she said she was assured by city officials it would be completed in 2015 once the initial path from Briarwood Park was built in 2014. "Three years later it’s still not done," Orr said. "When you look at the pictures, on the other side of Carlton Road there is a path that goes into Carlton Park so the city had a plan. The city talked to me about curb cuts on both side of Carlton Road, but nothing got done," said a fuming Orr. Hamilton said he asked city staff to look into the issue after a complaint from Orr. "After Barb raised the issue of the pathway from Hemingway into Briarwood Park I asked our staff to look at it," Hamilton said. "They came back and said the bushes were overgrown and the existing pathway was in rough shape. They had some money so they had the guys trim back the bushes that bordered the entryway into Briarwood Park and they repaved the path," he continued. Hamilton said the staff person who promised the pathway from Briarwood Park to Carlton Road "didn’t have the authority to say that." "The City doesn’t want to pave that section for a variety of reasons. I’ve had other requests from dog walkers who don’t like the fact that it’s always damp in there, especially this year with all the rain we’ve been having. So there is no plan or commitment in place to pave that section. Before undertaking that we would need to consult with the neighbours that back onto that area," Hamilton replied. That doesn’t satisfy Orr, who has collected a petition calling for action on the pathway. "I just want this done. There was a plan to put a pathway there," she insisted.

FLQ CRISIS: Fifty-three years ago, Shirely Pinisch’s husband, Alfred, was killed during a FLQ domestic terrorist incident.

Celebrate #Ontario150 in Markham with a free concert featuring The Barenaked Ladies, Tyler Shaw, and Jessica Mitchell. The concert is at the Markham Civic Centre (101 Town Centre Blvd.) Sept. 10. Singer/songstress Jessica Mitchell is based in Toronto and Nashville, Tenn. After losing her mother to a battle with cancer, Mitchell had an epiphany about the kind of artist she wanted to become. Her hope is that by sharing grief and other personal experiences through her music, she will forge genuine bonds with her audience. For more on Mitchell, go to http:// jessicamitchellmusic.com/ Tyler Shaw is a Toronto-based singer/ songwriter. His hometown is Coquitlam, B.C. Thanks to the strength of his 2012 debut single Kiss Goodnight, Shaw has become a rising star in the Canadian pop scene. After entering a national talent competition in 2012 and taking the top spot out of 13,000 people, Shaw found doors opening for him musically, and relocated to Toronto. Shaw has landed opening slots on Canadian shows with artists including Shawn Mendes and Kelly Clarkson. Go to http://www.tylershawmu-
